In 1987 Greg LeMond was shot and nearly killed in a hunting accident. Although emergency surgery removed buckshot from his liver, kidneys, and intestines, two pellets remained in his heart lining and nearly 30 in his back and legs. He was forced to miss the Tour de France in 1987 and 1988, but he returned in 1989 and won the event that year.
